The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a rise at the top of an E-facing slope. A raised roughly circular area (28m N-S; 26m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.3m). The bank along the N arc is unusually wide (Wth 10.5m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.7m). The remains of stone facing is evident on the inner face of the bank at S and on the outer face of the bank at E. The interior slopes down to E. A NW-SE field boundary clips the bank SSE-W.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
